Why watch this?
This is my favorite Chevy Chase film. Goldie Hawn is adorable.
Plot Summary:
Nick Gardenia, a writer, is kidnapped and forced to rob a bank,
becoming a fugitive from the law. He seeks refuge with his
ex-wife, Glenda, a public defender who is now married to the
District Attorney, Ira, who happens to be pursuing Nick's case.
Glenda hides Nick in their home, leading to a series of comedic
misunderstandings and near-discoveries as she tries to protect
him from her husband and the authorities.

Dad's Preview:
Chevy and Goldie demonstrated some on-screen chemistry in
Foul Play (1978). They re-teamed for this wonderful Neil
Simon romantic comedy.
He's a down-on-his-luck writer who manages to become a wanted
man. She's
his ex-wife, and an attorney, therefore he comes to her for help. Her
current husband is the District Attorney. The hilarity
ensues as she tries to keep Chevy's presence a secret because
the bad press would sink her husband's election campaign. How
this one works out is a joy to watch. |
